However, in testing of another bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1214180 I have been asked a couple of times to download an Ubunto development ISO image, boot into it, and see if the suspend-resume problem described there has been fixed. This machine does not have a CD/DVD drive, so I made a USB stick, but I was unable to boot off the USB in August and again recently in December of this year, and I was asked in that bug to report the booting problem separately using the terminal "ubuntu-bug linux" command, so here I am. Here are the details of my latest attempt: a) I downloaded the ISO from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily- live/current/ labeled trusty-desktop-amd64.iso 03-Dec-2013 07:49 884M Desktop image for 64-bit PC (AMD64) computers (standard download) and used the Startup Disk Creator utility on my desktop machine (which is running the 12.0-4 LTS version of Ubuntu currently) to create a startup USB stick from it. This is almost certainly the same Startup Disk Creator utility I used when I originally set up my computer in June, but it is probably a different USB stick. b) Following the instructions on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI (because I do have UEFI on this computer), I also verified that I have Secure Boot disabled in the BIOS (that was already the case) and that RapidStart Technology is disabled (that was also already the case). And I set the BIOS to boot off USB first. I am booting in UEFI mode. c) I then attempted to boot my Toshiba Portege laptop off that USB stick. I have USB as first in boot order (and I also tried by hitting F12 during bootup and manually selecting to boot off the USB stick) (and I tried all 3 USB ports on the computer, just in case they behaved differently, because I think one is USB-3 and the other two are USB-2). In all cases, I got an error message that was too quick to see, and then ended up at my normal hard disk (well, SSD disk) boot menu, where I could boot normally (not off the USB in other words). d) By filming the bootup sequence with my digital camera, I was able to freeze the frame where the error message appeared and read it. I attached a screen shot in that other issue, and I think the message says (I'm not entirely sure about the first line, as it was a bit blurry): Could not get fio for li->DevIceHandle: 2 Failed to find fs Failed to load image Failed to find fs Failed to load image Press any key to continue... I will also attach the screen shot here. e) I was able to use the USB stick to boot my desktop machine. It does not use UEFI, but at least I was able to confirm that the USB stick is bootable and works as a "Live" version of Ubuntu.
